When God said "this is my son with whom I am well pleased", was it really Jesus saying this?

John 5:37 says "You have never heard his voice nor seen his form"

Many Biblical prophets have heard Gods voice, it says so in the Bible. You also have to remember, he is a Triune God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Why do you think no man has ever heard God's voice? Adam and Eve heard him.... Abraham was a friend of God's and spoke with him.... Why could John the Baptist not have heard His voice when he baptized his son, Jesus? God sent down Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and spoke his approval at the time. What is so hard to believe about the Bible's account ?
If you want to question something, question why people can believe in the trinity and think that God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one and the Same. THAT is a situation that does NOT exist in the Bible and yet people take IT for the truth and IT would make all three of them to be equal and yet different and yet all seperate. Explain THAT one!! You can't, because it is a triune godship principle based in Ancient Roman pagan diety worship and has no belonging in True worship. As does this ridiculous question- it doesn't belong in true worship.

No. What about Moses? Did he not hear God's voice when he had gone into the mountains?
The Bible tells us that a voice was heard---by everyone around Jesus and then an image of the Holy Spirit ascended on to Jesus---this is the first presentation of the Holy Trinity.

It didn't say that no man had heard his voice, it said that those men had never heard his voice.. Can't you read?? He was talking to some people that thought that they knew God and they didn't..
John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
God can express himself any way that he wants..

There are different views on this. Some say that Jesus and God are the same and no different and that Jesus was talking to His higher self and they are called oneness believers. Some say that Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit are three seperate beings but the same being and they are called trinity believers. In the trinity thinking...there is no real good example of the trinity on earth and thus can never be fully understood.

Everyone has heard Gods voice, up until the time when God said he would stop talking to people and let them live on their own.

It is not true that no man has ever heard God's voice. People heard God say, "This is my beloved Son in Whom I am well-pleased."

Lots of men have heard God's voice.

Umm no, it was really God's voice.
And yes, others have heard God's voice. Moses comes to mind, Noah, Abraham (yes he did, when he argued with God over Sodom). I'm also assuming the prophets heard God's voice too, but I'm not all that informed about prophets.
